ing Events of the Week in our State and
Nation, Choice Miscellany, a column for
Farmers, hints for Housckeepers, Funny

That its reading matter comprises the
latest and most important news, as well
as judicious selections of miscellaneous
articles.
That it pays especial attention to local
events.
Politically the HERALD AMI TRIBUNE is
Republican; but, while a due share of
attention will be given to the politics Of
the day, the main object of the publishers
will be to make it a LIVE NEWS paper.

bond itself in good SUM to secure the

made in good time to set the people

Foreign Missions

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, October Sat
the second days meeting of the Ameri,
can Board of Foreign Missions. every
inch of space in the City Hall was
crowded, when after the reading of
Secretary Smiths report, the announce
ment was made of the death of
Ex-Governor Washburn, which had
occurred in the ante-room very
suddenly, of apoplexy. During
the reading of the report, the hush
fell upon the vast audience and the
tones Of President Bartlett's touching
prayer sounded as if uttered in family
circle of mourners. After the appoint
ment the committee on report OF the
home department, on the place and
preacher for the next meeting, Rev. DR..
Judson Smith read the report on mis-
sions of China, Africa and the Pacific
Islands. The following is an abstract:
Five of the missions have been
established oyer twelve years, four
have been planted but seven
years. Several missionaries have
died this year. The number OF
converts doubled in ten years, and now
exceeds 10000. There are sixty-four
laborers in the field, and more than
5000 persons have received medical
treatment in China missions, instruc-
ton being given to nearly every one.
The high school at Tung Chow prom
ises to become a school of liberal train
ing in the highest sense. A furnishing
Christian Association is also located
there. The number of pupils in Bridge
mans school for girls at Pekin, who
are self-supporting is increasing,
Thanse mission is gaining strength.
The same is especially true of the Hong
Kong mission. In Africa, the Zulu
mission is prosperous. Churches re
port an increase of 100 members ia q
total of 1853. Schools are growing,
the temperance cause Is gaining ground,
and native pastors are increasing.

Although Nature alone can produce

We see this .instanced in the clearness

entirely harmless. Beware OF counter

9TH RRwIsE THE UNION PACIFIC.


A wsll-intormed gentleman whose
residence In Wyoming and familiarity
with the railroad situation in the Ter
ritory are both of long standing, tells
the Laramie Boomerang, that "he has
recently seen vouchers for work done
on the line between Fort Laramie and
Rock Creek, upon which the name sp-
peared as the Wyoming, Montana and
Pacific Railroad Company. He thinks
this is only another name for the
Cheyenne Il Northern, otherwise the
Union Pacific, and believes that this road
will branch off in two directions from
its present terminus at Laramie river,
one extension going to Douglas and
thence northward to Buffalo, Lander
and Butte; the other going to Rock
Greek, Carbon, and straight across the
plains to Granger. He is in position
to know all that is going on in this di-
rection, and while We cannot divulge
nor permit his name to be used, he is
confident in his own mind that Just as
soon as the company can get things in
shape, they propose to throw the old
road overheard, take all that is valuable
in the way of rolling stock, resources,
ete., and start it on their own hook,
with the Wyoming, Montana and Pa
cific D-Rr

Ocean at Eureks, and then absorb the

THE RAILWAY BOON.
Echoes of the Wheel ALI Around
and About.

The grapevine telegraph brings the
information that the railroad company
has ordered all work stopped in connec-
ton with the removing of the water
pipes and remainder of the buildings be-
longing to the company, until the mat
ter concerning the building of the road
to the National Park shall have been
determined, and that survey will soon
be made from Eagle Rock up on this
(the east) side of the river crossing the
South Fork above LeWisville, passing
through the towns of LewisVille, Menan,
Liberty, Lyman, Re1burg, Teton,
Lapham, Cedar Butte, Pioneer and
South Fork, and would pass through
one of the richest agricultural portions
of Idaho.
The Register, however, doubts very
much that the U. P. will build this
road. 1t would be contrary to all pre-
cedent of .. p. railroad building. 1t
would pass through too much good
country for the U. P. 1t would he q
few miles longer than a road from
Camas Market Lake or China Point,
and the point the U. P. has always
made has been to go through the most
desolate country that can be found,
and make straight line. AS a prom
inent U. P. official recently remarked,
1.-The U. P. had good road bed and
moderately straight line, but through q
desolate country, while other roads
built where there was business along
the line, a. well as at the objective
point, which any person acquainted
with the country through Wyoming,
Utah and Idaho can vouch for as being
very nearly correct.-RediSter.

A woNIts's SONG.

She took her song to heluty's side.
Where riches are. and pomp, aud pride
There in tho world amidst the crowd
She found out hOurts by sOrro Y bowed;
And midst dream of light and dress
She saw the pain ut Loneliness,
Her voices magic held tear,
She made the weary ones draw near
And all the passions Of the tlrong
Were melted into peace bysong
She took her song along the street,
And hushed the beat of passing feet;
Aud tir0d iollers stopped to illl
Their hearts with music at her viii.
She sang OF rest for weary feet,
OF sea-moan, and of meadow sweet;
Her voices pleading stilled the stir,
And little children wcpt with her;
So all their sorrow, grief and pain
She sOftened into love again,
She took her song TO those who rest
Safe In the clasp Of natures breast,
Amid the graves, along the shore,
Washed with salt tears foreyermore,
And then she sang, How long How long
Before we hear that perfect song
That angel hymn That mystic strain,
When those who loved shall love again,
When life's long struggle shall be best
With music Of Eternal Rest
-Lclement Scott.
